    As a die hard Elm Street fan I have to say your the best in my eyes to take up the job, i know you will be a very good Freddy.

  4. I am generally unimpressed with the flood of horror remakes, but I think Jackie will bring an amazing depth to the character. I am very hopeful and excited!

  5. While I love Robert Englund to death (Freddy has always been my favourite villain) I am looking forward to see what JEH can do with the role.

  6. No way! I love you, but am afraid I’ll be too scared to watch. Guess I’ll have to watch at home during the day with all the doors locked?!! Whoever did casting for this was right on — you’ll be great, Jackie!!! CHEERS!
